"Eagle's Realm" Intarsia

[wdkits1]

Hi Everyone

 

Has been a while since I've posted any new intarsia. Here is a photo of my newest piece titled "Eagles Realm". It sits in a 16" x20" cherry frame with purpleheart accents and has 175 pieces from 17 different woods. This was a very challenging project to design but was fun to create.Woods used—Walnut, Holly, Spalted Beech, Spalted Sycamore, Yellowheart, Ebony, Fishtail Oak, Poplar, Lignum Vitae, Purpleheart, Afromosia, Vera wood, Peruvian Walnut, Tulipwood, Maple, Bloodwood, Pink Ivory. Fun project.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

To Helen---I use a dremel tool with a 5/64" high speed cutter to carve the detail into the feathers and use the edge of a 1/2" sanding drum to do the texturing on the eagle's body and the hill sides.

That's amazing, I like the wide variety of woods used, all the texture and detail in the feathers is stunning. Well done,

Very nice work, now I want to do an intarsia piece. I love to do intarsia, but it takes me a while to get up the guts to start.
